"Waterfall where Yoshitsune Washed his Horse at Yoshino in Yamato Province" (吉野山吉水の滝), also known as "Washu Yoshino Yoshitsune uma arai no taki," is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created during the Edo period, this print is part of Hokusai's acclaimed series "A Tour of Waterfalls in Various Provinces" (各州瀧廻り, "Shokoku taki meguri"), which was produced between 1833 and 1837. The series features a collection of eight landscape prints, each depicting a different waterfall from around Japan.

This particular print showcases the legendary waterfall in the Yoshino area of Yamato Province (present-day Nara Prefecture), where, according to folklore, the famous 12th-century warrior Minamoto no Yoshitsune is said to have washed his horse. The waterfall is rendered with dynamic lines and a powerful sense of motion, capturing the energy and grandeur of the cascading water. Hokusai's use of Prussian blue, a pigment new to Japan at the time, adds a vivid intensity to the composition.

The print reflects Hokusai's fascination with the natural world and his mastery of capturing its various forms and movements. It also illustrates the artist's innovative approach to perspective and his ability to evoke a sense of depth and volume within the flat medium of woodblock prints. "Waterfall where Yoshitsune Washed his Horse at Yoshino in Yamato Province" is not only a fine example of Hokusai's artistic skill but also a reflection of the cultural and historical significance of waterfalls in Japanese literature and folklore.

As with many of Hokusai's works, this print has been influential in the development of landscape art in Japan and has contributed to the Western perception of Japanese art during the Japonisme movement of the 19th century. Today, it remains an important work within the canon of Japanese art and continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic beauty and cultural resonance.
